I have the Bambino Plus, the timer isn't meant to be very good, so if you want more consistency you can use the manual shot. I hold the double button for 8 seconds (preinfuse) then let go to let the shot run. I also run with a scale underneath to get the ratios consistent due to the inconsistent timer.

Is it possible to pull a split shot with that portafilter? Looks like it might make a mess.

It’s kind of annoying spout spacing. Almost too far apart for single cups but not loads of room for two cups.

Not been my favorite. There should be a really nice new machine hitting the market soon that will be much better than this. I like the SD or SK40 over the ESP, ESP would be #3 for the price. Don't like the Opus.

@@portakeeper I am in Canada I see Miicoffee handling the Sd or Sk40 the thing that is pushing towards the ESP is long term support... Folks don't want buy it for life but I get it from a pure performance view the sd or so might be better but hearing some folks not happy with those either.... I am currently using a Kitchen Burr grinder it's very uniformed but I feel it's way too fine on the drip setting and french press is non existent.

What are your views on the DF64P, for those of us who don't want to spend more on the DF83?
@portakeeper Жыл бұрын
I have the DF64E which you can run similar to the P. Both of those are pretty much only for espresso as the range isnt very wide. I have mine dedicated for espresso with SSP MP burrs which are awesome for lighter fruity roasts. Stock burrs are same as regular 64. They are great for most. I’ve tried all the different SSP and they do fine espresso
